INTRODU CTORY 
W E are the successors to the C. A. Randig Apiary and Nurseries. 
Mr. C. A. Randig was engaged in the Apiary and Nursery 
business in Europe from 1870 to 1881, emigrating to the 
United States in 1881, settling in Taylor, Texas, where he resumed 
the same business. In 1899 he moved to Bloomington, Calif., and con^ 
tinned along those same lines until the time of his death. 
After my father’s death we lost practically everything through 
severe freezes and adverse business conditions. After losing every" 
thing there we moved to San Bernardino, Calif. Here in 1918 I estab' 
lished what is now known as the Martin E. Randig Apiary and Water 
Gardens. 
We have steadily grown so that we are now again one of the lead' 
ing growers and distributors in this line. 
As before, we strive to give you the best service and plants possible. 
You will find our prices reasonable. These lilies are not raised in 
swamps, they are raised in modern concrete pools, with the best of 
care, assuring you good strong plants and bulbs,—the best money can 
buy. Varieties are true to name. 
We have in the last year doubled our hot house space and propa' 
gating facilities to meet the increasing demand for our waterlilies. 
Many of these we can now give you in unlimited quantities at very 
reasonable cost. 
Our exhibit was awarded the First Prize for being the best collec¬ 
tion of waterlilies shown at The Southern California Los Angeles 
County Fair, held at Pomona, September, 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1938. 
We ship the tropical lilies with almost bare roots, packed in 
damp moss. This method saves you quite a bit on express charges; 
however, should you prefer them sent with a ball of soil attached 
please mention this with your order. Our advanced packing methods 
and years of experience assure the safe arrival of all plants either 
way. Our many repeat orders speak for themselves. 
We are here with our 1939 wholesale price list of those lilies which 
we have surplus enough to fill wholesale orders. We have others 
that we do not list but can supply if wanted in small numbers. Our 
prices are F.O.B. San Bernardino. We ship only when cash accom¬ 
panies order. W^e hope to be of some service to you.
